Developing a Web-based Preliminary Learning Program for Foreign Care Worker Candidates: Towards Understanding Linguistic and Cultural Issues.

为了为需要护理的人提供高质量的护理，并与日本护理人员顺利合作，我们开发了一个基于网络的项目，帮助外国护理人员候选人学习日语的技术术语和条件，并为国家护理人员考试做准备。该计划的主要特点是：1)外国护工候选人可以在访问日本之前随时访问这些无处不在的电子学习材料；2)他们可以提高作为护理人员的技术知识和技能；3)他们可以学习英语和日语两种语言。

In order to maintain the high-quality care for people requiring nursing care and smooth collaboration with Japanese care workers, we developed a web-based program to help foreign care worker candidates to learn the Japanese equivalents for technical terms and conditions and to prepare for the national care workers’ examination. The main features of this program are 1) foreign care worker candidates can access this ubiquitous e-learning material anytime before they visit Japan; 2) they can improve the technical knowledge and skills as a care worker; and 3) they can learn bilingually in both English and Japanese.
